Germany to begin easing CovSUNVILLA SAMACHAR id-19 travel restrictions for InAiling 84 Year Old Stan Swamy Died dia and 4 other countries Editorial
Waiting For Bail On Medical Ground Stan Swami died in judicial custody. He was 84 years of age and ailing with several diseases including Parkinson’s. National Investigation Agency (NIA) had arrested him nine months ago in October 2020 on terror charges, yet unfounded, under (Unlawful Activities PreventionAct (UAPA). In February, a forensic evidence emerged that found the letters forming the verybasis of the case were in fact put in the laptop of a detenue Rona Wilson before he wasarrested. Prosecution case became doubtful after the evidence, but barring 81 year old poetVaravara Rao, none of the 16 detenues have reportedly been granted bail. Trial is yet tostart because NIA failed to submit all evidences and chargesheet.From state’s perspective it is the beauty of the draconian laws like UAPA under which state can detain a person without even giving the detenue the status of an accused, ie right to bail when prosecution case is doubtful, no sufficient incriminating evidence, or even no chargesheet within a required timeframe as in the case of Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) of the country. When a person is arrested he is given the status of an accused under CrPC, and if chargesheet is not submitted within 60 days in noncognizable offenses, and 90 days under cognizable offenses, the accused gets bail. However, detenues under UAPA and other crime control acts are kept in custody without giving rights of an accused. However, from the people’s perspective, one must get justice, and state should not beallowed to arrest any person and detain for unlimited time even without evidence orchargesheet, and denying the detenue to have a status of an ‘accused’ as is given underCrPC. No doubt, when Jesuit priest, Father Stain Swamy died in judicial custody, severalprominent persons all over the world felt the injustice done to him at a very advanced age of84 years and when seriously ailing. How can a person be a terror threat in such a situation?And how the purpose of justice is served in denying bail to such a person? Just a few weeksago on May 21, ailing Stain Swamy appeared before a bench of Bombay High Court viavideo link form Taloja jail, where he was lodged.During the hearing of the interim bail petition, Swamy said, “Taloja jail has brought me to asituation where I can neither write nor go for a walk by myself … Someone has to feed me.”It may not be out of place to mention here that Swamy had been suffering from an acutecondition of Parkinson’s disease, he needed a special cup to drink water, and his body hadundergone a “slow regression” since he was arrested from his home in Ranchi. Judges didoffer him to be treated in a state-run hospital, but it was not acceptable to Swamy for hewanted better treatment facilities. “No, I would not want to,” he said. “I would rather suffer,possibly die here very shortly if this were to go on.” On July 5, his bail petition had come to be heard by the judges, Swamy’s lawyer appeared, informed the court that the doctor treating his client wants to speak to the court, who said with a very heavy heart that Father Satan Swamy had passed on the same day at 1:30 PM. No wonder, his death has triggered a flood of criticism to the government and judiciary with a sense of injustice done to Stain Swamy – right from the place he lived to the United Nations.“The news from India today is devastating. Human Rights Defender (HRD) and Jesuit priestFather Stan Swamy has died in custody, nine months after his arrest on false charges of terrorism. Jailing HRDs is inexcusable,” said Ms Mary Lawlor, the United Nations Special Rapporteur for human rights defenders. The European Union’s Special Representative for Human Rights Mr Eamon Gilmore said, “I am very saddened to here Fr Stan Swamy haspassed away. A defender of indigenous people’s rights. … The EU had been raising hiscase repeatedly.” Chief Minister of Jharkhand, the state of his residence and activities,posted his tribute and condolence and remembered him dedicated his life working for tribalrights. “The Union Government should be answerable for absolute apathy and non-provisionof timely medical services, leading to his death,” he said. Chief Minister of Kerala also condoled his death. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi posted, “Heartfelt condolences onpassing of Father Stan Swamy. He deserved justice and humaneness.” These are but only afew of the numerous messages appeared in the social media and elsewhere sympathizingwith Stan Swamy.The person for whose death millions of hearts bleeds with a sense of injustice done to - Kapilkumar M.
